History[edit]
Air Guilin has its origins in Guangxi Airlines, formed in 2013 by HNA Group and the Guilin Municipal Government.[4] This airline was renamed Guilin Airlines in 2014 and planned to commence operations in May of that year, although this did not occur.[2][3] On 8 September 2015, Guilin Airlines received preliminary approval from the CAAC.[5] In October the airline decided to use Airbus A319 aircraft for its fleet.[6]
Guilin Airlines was renamed Air Guilin in late 2015. On 9 December it unveiled its logo, which incorporates Guilin landmark Elephant Trunk Hill and the slogan of the city.[7] Air Guilin commenced operations on 25 June 2016 with a flight between Guilin and Zhengzhou.[8][9]
Corporate affairs[edit]
Air Guilin is a joint venture between Guilin Tourism Development Co. (60%) and Guilin Aviation Tourism Group (40%), an HNA Group subsidiary. The groups have invested a total of ¥600 million in the airline.[5][7]
